Liberals and fake Harper assassination pic: Idiots of the Day

We may not like Harper here at Lord of the Universe, but the Liberals have gone and done something stupid that might actually help him in the long run.

Well done morons.

The Liberal Party of Canada has been forced to apologize after showing a fake picture of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper being assassinated on the party's official website.

The Liberal Party website had been hosting a picture contest where readers could create images of Harper in fictional situations. The contest had been designed to criticize the prime minister's perceived reluctance to attend climate change talks in Copenhagen by showing locations that he would rather be in.

However, one shocking photo had the Prime Minister's head digitally replacing the head of Lee Harvey Oswald in a picture that showed Oswald as he is shot and killed by Jack Ruby.

What personally amuses me is that they've offered up as an excuse is the "Stephane Dion 'bullet holes' photo" from the 2008 election.

I put "bullet holes" in quotations because, as it turns out, there's a very good reason why they don't look like proper bullet holes.

Google "paper holes".
